Pultruded Fiberglass Grating (similar in form to metal bar grating) is stronger, lighter, equally corrosion resistant, and in most cases, more economical than Molded grating. Additionally, pultruded grating can be larger than molded panels and can be fabricated to custom sizes. In most applications, pultruded fiberglass grating will represent the best product at the lowest price.
Pultruded Fiberglass Grating is manufactured by assembling two structural fiberglass shapes (the cross and bearing bars) into a grid pattern. These bar shapes are made by "pultrusion" - a continuous molding process utilizing glass or fibrous reinforcement in a polyester or vinyl ester resin matrix. Selected reinforcement materials like glass strands, mat or cloth thoroughly impregnated with the liquid resin. The laminate is formed in a geometric shape (either a "T" or an "I") and pulled through a heated steel die. Finally it solidifies into the exact shape of the die cavity after being continuously pulled by the pultrusion machine.
